Lachlan told Daily Mail Australia on Friday that it was his father's decision to sell a parcel of the property.

'I would have liked to hold on to the land. But, in the subdivision we retained the main farming portion of the land and all the old houses sheds and buildings,' he said.

'The retained land includes over 160-acres of mainly irrigated lucerne cultivation paddocks which produced over 14,000 bales of hay last year.'

The farmer admitted that he had no plans to move from the property, nor change careers.

'I will continue to live in my current house on the 260 acre property and only plan to slightly scale down the current 360 head of beef cattle. In addition to the 260 acres, I am also leasing other property as well,' he to told the Daily Mail Australia.

'I have no desire to change careers, things are going extremely well with the farm and I love what I am doing now and have been doing for the past 10 years. I am also moving into tourism which will include an open day towards the end of the year as well as farm tours, farm stay accommodation, weddings and corporate functions among other things.

'I have had a number of meetings with council, tourism bodies and event managers and planning is well underway.'

Lachlan is one of six farmers who have signed up to the reality show looking to find 'the one'.

The humble star has even appeared in a promo for the Channel Nine show, declaring to viewers that he is 'desperate' to find Mrs Right.

Sitting in front of a farmyard tin shed in the clip, a downtrodden looking Lachlan spoke of his previous reality TV marriage, saying: 'That didn't work in my instance'.

'This farmer desperately wants a wife,' he adds with a wry smile.

Viewers were treated to a look at the upcoming fleet of hopeful brides filmed leaving a bus, with one lucky lady later filmed walking hand-in-hand with the smouldering farmer.

But the land sale isn't the only controversy surrounding Lachlan at the moment.

His Married at First Sight TV wife, Claire Tamas, delivered scathing account of the pair's relationship in an interview with New Idea.

'He turned it on when the cameras were on us, then was either cold or rude or distant', the red-head revealed.

'He told me that I was his dream girl and he'd never had a connection like that before, and yet quickly departed after the last cameras, with no word,' she said.

The reality TV starlet says her tale is a cautionary one for the ladies set to encounter the farmer's charm on his next show, citing his appearance on MasterChef in 2010 as another flag for his search for fame.
